Almost anyone that makes fake Nintendo E3 leaks put Paper Mario in their list, and with a good reason, it makes a lot of sense.
- It sold very well every time: PM - N64 (1.38M), TTYD -Game Cube (2.25M), SPM - Wii (3.69), PSS - 3DS (2.14M)
- More than just the absolut sales, it managed to have good numbers in GC, despite the smaller userbase. It looks like a good option for the Wii U
- Three consecutive home consoles have had a Paper Mario game since its Nintendo 64 début
- It isn't an expensive title to make
- It's now been eight years since Super Paper Mario arrived on Wii, so we're due a new entry
- Both the original and TTYD came after 3/4 years (depending on the region), so about where we are with the Wii U
- We recently got Paper Mario on Virtual Console
That said, we do have some counter points
- Nintendo could leave it in the HH
- Intelligent Systems was pretty busy recently: Code Name: S.T.E.A.M was released in March, Strechmo in May, Fire Emblem IF needs to be ready in June for Japan and it is also working on Fire Emblem X SMT , wich also has a 2015 Japanese date so far. Another studio could take it though.
So, what do you say?
